4-aminophenol (44.9 g, 410 mmol) was added to the 1 L 3-neck flask and dissolved with N,N-dimethylacetamide (600 mL). The stirred mixture was then cooled to 9° C. and potassium t-butoxide (46.18 g, 410 mmol) was added portionwise; the solution turned green and solidified before potassium t-butoxide addition was completed. Stirring was reestablished and a solution containing the 4-chloro-2-picoline (50 g, 390 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (400 mL) was slowly added and the mixture was heated at 90° C. for 17 h. The mixture was then allowed to cool to 45° C., filtered and concentrated to near dryness in vacuo to leave brown residue. The residue was slowly added to vigorously stirred water (1 L) and the suspension was stirred for 1 hr. The solids were then collected by suction filtration and washed with small amount of isopropanol, ether and dried to afford {4-[(2-Methylpyridin-4-yl) oxy] phenyl} amine (49.9 g, 64%) as light tan solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 8.21 (d, 1H), 6.78 (d, 2H), 6.57-6.63 (m, 4H), 5.10 (s, 2H), 2.35 (s, 3H); MS ES 201 (M+H)+, calcd 201, RT=1.04 min.
